What a game, let's go Knicks!!

Didn't even shoot well, missed a ton of open stuff, and figured out way to get it done.

Contributions from all over - Alvarado, McBride, Shamet all of them played big, nobody looked like road Finals game will be too much for them, which is often the case for the guys off the bench. Great for confidence rest of series. Mitch also with the good D in his minutes. Hart rebounded like an animal. Will need his open shots to fall in at least cple games though.

Also they got away with Kat on Wemby most of game, WITHOUT getting in foul trouble. Suspect Wemby will be crashing paint hard Friday night though, for calls. Going to need OG to D up Wemby in big minutes at some point in series.

Fox looked great in Game 7, but looked timid last night, they really need him. Champagne being targeted for his lack of D ability will be repeated you can Def see that happening.

Besides Harper their bench didn't do ****.

Their lack of an experienced point guard hopefully continues to hurt them late in pressure spots of tight games.

Link doesn't work. Great read featuring Dylan's game, and even mentions Rutgers.
